Nestled at the mouth of the River Lagan and home to the Titanic, Belfast is Northern Ireland’s capital and one of the best getaway spots in the UK. It’s the kind of place where you can get your fill of shopping, climb to one of the most phenomenal views of a city you’ll ever see, learn about the complicated and enthralling modern history that made the city what it is, and of course have a cracking night out. Oh, how could we forget, it’s the home of Game of Thrones too!

A short stay in Belfast, whether for just a night or a little luxury weekend away, is always a treat. Routinely touted at the friendliest city in the UK, you’ll feel like any conversation with a local is like you’re making a new friend in no time at all. So, if you’re there to see a concert or big show at the SSE Arena (locals call it the Odyssey) or the historic Ulster Hall, you’ll want to be part of the “craic” and have a time of it.

Open a calendar and you can be guaranteed there’s something on every night in Belfast. The most popular gig venues are The Limelight and Mandela Hall. Dublin Road is where you’ll get all the bars that have intimate acoustic gigs on throughout the week, while the SSE Arena in the Titanic Quarter is the major concert venue that thousands pack into for some of the biggest acts in the world. Keep an eye out on this page as we often have last minute deals for massive discounts on tickets to venues in Belfast.

The Best Belfast Tours - Discover Belfast by Boat, Bus, Bike and Belly

Jeff Meredith

Belfast tours are popular on the Irish tourist trail so I thought I’d see what all the fuss is about. After exploring Belfast by boat, bus, bike and belly I’ve come to the conclusion that the following tours are some of the best experiences in Belfast.

For any family who need to do a little exploring, Belfast is a fantastic family friendly city. It’s quite a good place to get kids learning a lot and can explore the great outdoors. Top family attractions in the city include Belfast Zoo in the north of the city, W5 at the Odyssey Pavilion and the glasshouse within Botanic Gardens (just a stone’s throw away from the engaging Ulster Museum).

Things To Do Nearby

Belfast is kind to any hungry soul, no matter what their budget; from cheap student eats to high end dining. Botanic Avenue (near Queens University) is where you’ll want to go if you’re after the best variety of food in the smallest space.

Best Things to do in Belfast

Groupon's 'Local Stars' awards are about to take place and businesses all over the world will be awarded for being the best in their locality. In the spirit of recognising the best of the best, I asked the bloggers who write for City Guide to recommend the best things to do in Belfast. Here's what they say:

The most convenient way to see what Belfast is all about is to grab yourself a ticket on one of the Hop On Hop Off bus tours. Keep an eye out as Groupon regularly has great discounts on Belfast bus tour tickets. Make sure to get one which lets you get off and on at different areas around the city, especially the historic Queen's University which is a popular photo spot. There are also unique ways to see the city too, such as Segway tours and walking tours through the city centre that help you get to know Belfast a little better.

All that walking about can tire anyone out, so we highly recommend treating yourself to a little pampering by taking an hour or two to unwind. You’ll be happy to know that most spas and beauty salons have local Belfast massage deals at Groupon where you can get a massage or mini spa treatment for an unbeatable price.

Just like those who get up bright and up to climb Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, if you’re bringing a comfy pair of walking shoes, you need to climb up Cavehill. The climb gives you spectacular view of the entire city, Belfast Lough and far up the coast.
